GreenMonkey Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Have you guys seen this video? Holy ****ing **** Caught this from dvdtalk game forum... It's from the August 2004 Street Fighter tournement. The dude parries like 10 Chun li super move spinny kicks in a row with 0 life and kicks the other guy's ass. Worth seeing. http://www.davidslife.com/journal/archives/00000299.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Since this is a video game-releated topic, I'll just move this over to the Consoles Area. As for the video itself, it looks cool. Judging from the crowd's reaction, what happens at the end was pretty damned amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Parrying requires you to be almost frame perfect. Parrying FOURTEEN TIMES IN A ROW, when missing any one of them would lose you the match requires the kind of skill that just isn't human. For the record, I think I've sucessfully parried about twice.

Romier S Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Judging from the crowd's reaction, what happens at the end was pretty damned amazing. That's an understatement. As Iain mentioned, parrying in SF takes crazy skill and timing. To do it that many times in a row in the middle of one of Chun-Li's specials is INSANE!

ChoiceStriker Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I agree; this is one of the coolest videos ever. To pull that off under that kind of pressure is just beyond my powers of comprehension. I'm a big geek about this type of movie - if anyone is interested in seeing more like this, I recommend www.combovideos.com. It requires you to register to download any of the videos, but they have a very good archive of stuff. Check out the "TOSF Parry Exhibition" if you liked the Daigo video above.

Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I think you're all making a big deal over nothing. I call button mashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoiceStriker Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I think you're all making a big deal over nothing. I call button mashing. Heh, you could call button mashing if there were any buttons involved. Parrying is actually done by moving the joystick toward your opponent at the split second an attack is going to hit you. It does involve a huge amount of skill and practice to pull off successfully and there's almost zero chance that someone who's just flailing is going to nail it like that.

GreenMonkey Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 For the record, I think I've sucessfully parried about twice. Yeah, I played lots of Tekken Tag, and I have some decent reflexes for counters, but SF parries are more precise in their timing. I can generally parry fireballs, or a kick or something, but 14 quick parries like that is crazy. I can't imagine successfully parrying two of those kicks in a row. I'd get just the first one and get smacked down by the rest. I figured it wasn't REALLLllllly console discussion, more of a funny video situation, which is why I posted in the other forum. Not sure on the organization quite yet, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
